Anotace knihy

In The Zigzag Way, the critically acclaimed novelist Anita Desai deftly explores cultural fault lines in an evocative story of expatriates and travelers adrift in a foreign land. The suspiciously enigmatic Dona Vera, the fierce Austrian widow of a mining baron, has become a local legend in a town in the Sierra Madre, but her reputation for philanthropy glosses over a darker history. On his first trip abroad, Harvard grad student Eric traces his family"s history to the town and stumbles onto a path of self-discovery. In an atmospheric story culminating on the Day of the Dead, Desai examines the subtle interplay between past and present by interweaving Eric"s story with that of his immigrant grandparents. Gorgeously nuanced and greatly satisfying, The Zigzag Way is "an elegant, exquisite miniature . . . a vivid, unlooked-for gem by a master of the craft" (Elle).
